I was at this show back in 2000. My buddy recorded this on minidisk I think. I still have this on a CD-R 😀 thanks for posting - it brings back some good memories.
This show was only a week or two before John played at SXSW and started to become nationally known... it's got the best version of Lifelines that i've heard anywhere. The audio quality is outstanding, you feel like you're right there in the room.
I starter college in 2002 right when he started to gain steam. 2002 was the age of Limewire and I downloaded everything “John Mayer” I could find. I wound up with this entire concert but lost it 15 years ago. I’ve been searching for this for too long
Oh my god. I used have all Of these songs I found on LineWire or Morpheus or some shit. This is amazing. Never delete this. Never ever. These songs are my twenties.
Such an interesting feeling when this happens! I was at an open mic night last night at a winery and the instance I hit the chorus in my first original song that I played, everyone actually started paying attention. It's pretty damn cool to realize that you got the audience's attention but, it is also kind of nerve-inducing haha!
I was so excited when I heard the first two chords before lifelines and then the three before man on the side omg reminds me of college and so many memories of me being obsessed with collecting allll John Mayer all the time
Yup. Myself and Richard Hamilton. Really glad it’s out there. This was his launching pad. Tape trading. To the point that this was the first. We got so damned lucky with this. It could have been shit and we could have had the soundboard patch if we had the right cord. John was the first recipient of this show. That was the deal.
interesting that in neon he primarily strums the verse bars while singing instead of finger picking each note like he does now. yes, he opens up picking them, but then transitions to strumming once he starts singing
I heard a funny comment once by a guy who did sound at a couple of these early shows. Something like "John was a dick before he was famous and remains so... his immense talent was always obvious though."
I wasnt even alive when this was recorded and im still nostalgic about it wtf
Haha yes same.. yet to be born.. bt still wanted to see him perform that day!
Same here
I was a fetus... or an embryo... or somewhere in between. Nonetheless, SAME!

You have video of this performance!? Please share with the world!
Yooo share that video please!!!
have you followed mayer throughout his big career as well?
Did your buddy happen to record the opening act that night? It was me! I would be interested to hear it, if he did! Crazy!
😭😭😭😭

i love his early 2000's music..... it's still work like a medicine for me......
Ditto. It's an antidepressant and anti-anxiety in one pill
You deserve a medal.
His raw and very best. I can only imagine how much the music industry changes a person from inside out.

Same here! I’m looking for the “lime wire” versions to download if anyone has them…
Absolutely, the rare ones are the best, before the mass fame. Organic as it comes
Oh my god. I used have all

when he sang the chorus to man on the side you can hear the audience take notice

Thanks for this
What a great thing to go back
Only discovered him 2 yrs ago
Now my friend every day
You can really get a feel for his influences with his cutaways like yellow ledbetter, karma police, no woman no cry etc.
I was so excited when I heard the first two chords before lifelines and then the three before man on the side omg reminds me of college and so many memories of me being obsessed with collecting allll John Mayer all the time
So he was 23 when he performed this. Crazy
He was 22, he's from oct
Fascinating to hear. The core of the Room for Squares album is all here. He had those in his solo set for a while!

It’s crazy to think I was exactly 1 month and 2 days old when John played this concert😂How time has flown!
So early. So pure. So memorable. So real.
Lifelines... what a song
I have been looking for this one for so long. I want to cry. In a happy way.
interesting that in neon he primarily strums the verse bars while singing instead of finger picking each note like he does now. yes, he opens up picking them, but then transitions to strumming once he starts singing
Sounds so amazingly good
In my opinion, room of squares is the best album
Listen to Neon off Any Given Thursday it’s a Strat
Thanks!
Love the PJ bit. Pretty great
Awesome sauce. Thank you kind sir.
That bob marley cover was outstanding
Time?
It’s such a tragedy that many of these song were never released!
This has to be the best version of neon
You deserve a medal
This was recorded on my 11th birthday and I was only 30 minutes north of Eddie’s attic, Alpharetta. I had no idea who John was then.
I could of sworn “Sucker” was on here. It was his best ever unreleased track
that was ‘99, also eddies attic
its been 20years agoooo
pearl jam "yellow ledbetter" nod in the middle of man on the side
Good catch! ;)
Why does he look like a Dreamworks character here haha
Anyone catch this little piece of Pearl Jam in there?! Lol love it !!!
nice youtube recommended me the 1999 one i watched it 3 or 4 times ina week last week
Love his older stuff I think I’m on at least this level so I play my guitar along with it
@@SamSveistrup can you play man on the side intro? 9:05
I know it's almost playing around the pentatonic scale and the chords but it's hard for me tho
@@Guess-dq8fw just saw this
@@Guess-dq8fw just learn the shapes and keep practicing it you’ll probably get it before me I suck at reading tab
You just play that E shape hammer on the notes then it’s B A. Jimi Hendrix plays the same one in Message to Love and Wind Cries Mary I believe
nice
Amazing performance of the song "Victoria"...
I was sure I had seen/heard everything he's ever published...what the hell is that second song starting 4:25 ??
That is Lifelines, one of John's unreleased songs.
That and Sucker are two of his best unreleased.
Mate, you should see my collection dating from the late 90's on FLAC. So many lost tracks!
@@NARDO422 Don't forget tracing!
@@NARDO422 Don't forget man on the side!imo this is the best version of this song I have ever heard.
does anyone know what guitar he's holding on the cover?
Wow
WTF happed to "Lifelines??"
anybody has a songlist of this one? Thank you!
Sev Bernardo in the description !
Hao Le sorry, my bad :(
Sev Bernardo omg I’m so mad at you >:(((
